Athens vs. Sparta

athens>>>>sparta>>>

Would you rather spend your life serving the military in Sparta or actually getting an education? In Athens there government is a democracy, which means he is ruled by a group of people through voting. In Sparta there government is an oligarchy, which is a government controlled by a few powerful people with control of the military. Athens are much more concerned with education and arts, unlike Sparta there more concerned with military service. If you hit the age of 7 age you lives in Sparta you had to serve the military. Athens value individuals which mean they do most of the things on their own and make their own decisions. Sparta values group. That means that everything they do is mostly in group and all their decisions all made together and they all have to agree. You tell me, would you rather live in Athens or Sparta.
